Azure IoT Operations Orchestrator CD Quickstart

Quickstart on Azure IoT Operations (AIO) for deploying with Azure IoT Operations Orchestrator using GitHub Actions.

This project leverages the following repos:

• Azure-Samples/azure-edge-extensions-aio-iac-terraform
• Azure-Samples/azure-edge-extensions-aio-datahistorian

For more information on azure-edge-extensions please refer to Azure-Samples/azure-edge-extensions.

Getting Started

Refer to the Azure-Samples/azure-edge-extensions-aio-iac-terraform Getting Started section for prerequisite requirements and instructions on registering the required providers.

Bootstrap will leverage azure-edge-extensions-aio-iac-terraform as modules to deploy a VM with k3s and AIO.

Bootstrap

Bootstrap will be ran from an admin's machine or environment and it will create the necessary resources in order to allow for a GitHub operated CD with Terraform.

Bootstrapping your environment will setup the following components:

• Azure Resource Group.
• Azure VM with k3s installed.
• Azure IoT Operations.
• OPC PLC Simulator deployed on Azure IoT Operations.
• Service Principal with Owner access to the new Resource Group to be used by GitHub Actions.
• Azure Storage Account and Container for Terraform state.

Complete the following commands in order to bootstrap your environment:

1. Generate a new ssh key to use with the new VM (replace the <computer-username> with the username that will be used for the VM):

   ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "<computer-username>" -f ~/.ssh/id_aio_rsa
   # Press enter twice unless you want a passphrase

2. Login to the AZ CLI:

   az login --tenant <tenant>.onmicrosoft.com

   • Make sure your subscription is the one that you would like to use: az account show.
   • Change to the subscription that you would like to use if needed:

     az account set -s <subscription-id>

3. Add a <unique-name>.auto.tfvars file to the root of the bootstrap directory that contains the following (refer to bootstrap/sample.auto.tfvars.example for an example):

   // <project-root>/deploy/root-<unique-name>.tfvars
   
   name = "<unique-name>"
   location = "<location>"

4. From the bootstrap directory execute the following:

   terraform init
   terraform apply -auto-approve

Deploying and bootstrapping the entire environment will take some time (approximately 25 minutes since last time ran).

The result should be an environment deployed into a new Resource Group with a new out/quickstart.tfbackend file created. This file will be used for later steps.
